British electronics specialist Filtronic is developing advanced technology that will enable next-generation satellite constellations to deliver high-speed broadband internet coverage.

Backed by ESA and the UK Space Agency, the company is working on spacefaring hardware that aims to provide fast, high-capacity links between low Earth orbiting communications satellites and receiving ground stations.

Filtronic secures contract with ESA

The contract forms part of ESA’s efforts to advance the 5G digital transformation of society and industry.

Low Earth orbit constellations are a crucial element of next-generation 5G and 6G converged networks, augmenting communications infrastructure on the ground and ensuring the provision of continuous, instant and ubiquitous connectivity.

Telecommunications satellites provide connectivity by receiving and sending data via radio waves, with different parts of the radio spectrum having contrasting capabilities in terms of speed, data volumes, and bandwidth.

Future quantum computers will be no match for ‘space encryption’ that uses light to beam data around — with the 1st satellite launching in 2025

Future quantum computers will be no match for ‘space encryption’ that uses light to beam data around — with the 1st satellite launching in 2025

By converting data into light particles and beaming them around the world using satellites, we could prevent encrypted messages from being intercepted by a superpowerful quantum computer, scientists claim.

Currently, messaging technology relies on mathematical, or cryptographic, methods of protection, including end-to-end encryption. This technology is used in WhatsApp — as well as by corporations, the government and the military — to protect sensitive data from being intercepted. 

Encryption works by scrambling data or text into what appears to be nonsense, using an algorithm and a key that only the sender and recipient can use to unlock the data. These algorithms can, in theory, be cracked. But they are designed to be so complex that even the fastest supercomputers would take millions of years to translate the data into something readable. 

Quantum computers change the equation. Although the field is young, scientists predict that such machines will be powerful

An avid movie fan, Trey’s career also includes being a film and TV critic while pursuing a degree in New York. For more information about Wi-Fi speeds and standards, read ourbeginner’s guide to Wi-Fi. The threats you face will most likely be the same ones facing any other internet user, so you should take the usual precautions. You should use strong passwords and never send or store sensitive data with sites and services that aren’t encrypted. To get Wi-Fi at home, you only need a Wi-Fi router, which is almost always included with abroadband dealat no extra cost.

wireless internet providersMany living in rural locations of America struggle to catch up with what the rest of America take for granted. If you have wireless connections set ahead of your neighborhood wired network, move your wired network above them. Luckily, there are a entire slew of wireless Web alternatives that nicely complement these conventional, wired ISPs, and in some methods surpass it.

On 3rd of April 2011 I ultimately entered in speak to with extremely skilled and able Rogers’ negotiator from Customers’ Service named Chantal, who persuaded me to continue with Rogers by promising much better service and by giving me some credits on highly unjustified and overcharged service bills, and she presented to me an limitless web access as properly.
